The Power of Worldbuilding
Worldbuilding, the process of constructing a fictional setting to place a story’s plot and characters within, is a fundamental and defining cornerstone to the fantasy and science fiction genres. But where should one begin when creating a new world? How does one create worlds that feel rich and tangible without bogging readers down in so much information that the story itself loses its pace and intrigue? How can writers use a story’s world to strengthen its very structure? These are among the questions examined in The Power of Worldbuilding, an accessible, comprehensive seminar for fantasy and science fiction writers at all stages of their writing journey.
